June 2020 - Citizenship Application

[Jack2406]

Jus wanted to give you all some updates. in the past 30 days, my background check got completed, 7 days later test invite was sent, did the test the first day I was allowed to and on July 21st (almost three weeks after I did the test) all the items turned green but oath ceremony. This has been 26 months of wait so far and hoping the ceremony date gets updated soon.

@farzad1983 , Did you get any update after your test?

It seems that a lot of us in the May 2020 group are getting our oath invite - June 2020 should follow soon

been waiting for two years

My ecas once showed Decision Made but then it switched back to In Progress. I guess it was same time as my Background check went back to In Progress.

Why is that my ecas show following:

1. We received your application for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship) on June 8, 2020.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on October 9, 2020
3. We started processing your application on December 17, 2020

but nothing after that? I had FP request and my test was done last year.

Also the 27 month time, is it from the day they receive application or from the day they start processing?

UPDATE

Things appear to have moved for me.

My PR card renewal application has been processed. The new cards have been posted though I haven't got them so far. Here is what the ecas tracker shows:

1. We received your application for a permanent resident card on June 15, 2022.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on July 28, 2022.
3. We started processing your application on July 28, 2022.
4. Your Permanent Resident card was sent by mail on August 3, 2022.

and soon after they posted my PR cards I got my second FP request on the 8th of August. Just thinking if they noticed my application while doing the PR card renewal?

Any one had 2nd FP request? how long does it take?

Just an update to all the wonderful people here. I have been silently following this group but haven't contributed much.. I always felt motivated and positive while reading everyone's journey here.. all range of emotions.. happy when someone's application moved forward, sad when someone was struggling with no updates.. At last, this painful wait for my and my husband is over.. I completed my Oath on Aug 3rd and my husband finally received oath invite today for Aug 31. Thanks for all the support!!
